Shall the Charter be amended to add the following sections to Article XVII:

Section 17.14 Regulated vehicle permits

The Municipality shall issue a non-transferable general taxicab permit to any qualified applicant. The fees paid for issuance or annual renewal of taxicab, limousine, or vehicle for hire permits shall be uniform. Issuance or annual renewal fees required for any of the aforementioned permits shall be equivalent and set to cover real administrative costs of issuing and filing them only and not set so as to be a substantial barrier to entry.

The exception to this act shall be that no fees shall be levied on taxicab permits for vehicles that are fully wheelchair accessible.

Section 17.15 Regulated vehicle rates and terms of service

The Municipality is hereby prohibited from establishing rates for limousine or executive sedan service. Any vehicle dispatch service licensed by the Municipality shall be allowed to dispatch any vehicle.

Summary of Economic Effects

Public sector economic effects:

Personnel: Transportation Inspection will need an additional part-time code enforcement officer position beginning mid-2008 to handle the added on-street enforcement, vehicle inspections, and complaint investigations attendant to an increase in the number of taxicabs. No need for additional office personnel is anticipated at this time.

Revenue: There will be an increase in revenue commensurate with the increase in the number of taxicab permits and the possible increase in the number of chauffeur licenses. The magnitude of the revenue increase is unknown, as the increase in the number of applications for permits and licenses cannot be accurately determined in advance. Transportation Inspection currently collects a $500 transfer fee -- about $6,000 annually -- for each transfer of a taxicab permit; the ready availability of new permits will reduce the number of purchases of existing permits and thus decrease the annual transfer fee revenue by an estimated $5,000. The net change to revenues is based on a "best-guess" estimation of 30 additional taxicab permits and assumes no change in the existing permit and license fee schedule.

Private sector economic effects: The existing 158 general taxicab permits are transferable by sale or lease within the private sector for amounts agreed upon by the parties involved. A typical permit lease is about $1,100 per month, the price to purchase a taxicab permit climbed to about $125,000 before declining to $100,000 in the face of the uncertainty preceding the upcoming ballot initiative. These exchanges occur in a market external to the Municipality, Transportation Inspection neither sets nor regulates the sale and lease amounts. The availability of new permits will reduce the demand for the existing 158 transferable permits and thus reduce their market value from the current $100,000 to an estimated $1,500 - $2,000.
